SEAFLOOR SPREADING
AND CONTINENTAL DRIFT
Dr. Harold M. MOoney, Dept.
of Geology and Geophysics,
U of M.
COLLECTING FOSSILS
M. Donald Wallace, Dept of
Geology and Geophsics, U of M.
AERIAL PHOTOGRAPHY AND
GEOLOGICAL MAPPING
Dr. Herbert Wright, Dept of
Geology and Geophysics, U of M.
After our last two lectures, we should hate
a better understanding of what a mineral is,
how it is classified and where to find them,
especially the choice samples. Armed with
this information we can't help but find
better specimens this summer*
The next three lectures will follow a somewhat different theme. The first lecture -
"Seafloor Spreading and Continental Drift"
dwells upon a most fasinating theory. This
theory seems necessary, if one is to explain
why Anartica in its fossil record happened
to have the same kind of plants and animals
found in ancient Africa, South America, and
Australia.
The second lecture - "Collecting Fossils"
should throw new light on this interesting
and rewarding hobby that opens the door
to our earths past.
The third lecture and last for the year -
"Aerial Photography and Geological Mapping"
is a new subject for the society. This
lecture and related ones that follow in
the new year, will increase our knowledge
of the geologist's tool - topograghic
and geological maps.
This set of lectures should be most
rewarding - don't miss them.
GEORGE RlCKERT RECEIVES
POST-HUMOUS AWARD
The fifth Annual Midwest Conservation Education Conference
at Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin,
was dedicated to George Rickert.
A beautiful plaque was properly
inscribed and delivered to Mrs.
Rickert. It will be hung later
in the Minnesota State Conservation office in St. Paul and in
August will be placed permanently
in the State Conservation Building at the Minnesota State Fair
grounds.
It says, "George Rickert,
Conservationist and Educator
shared his richness and royalty
with the young and old. He
walked with a foot in the past
and another in the future."
CSrl AT RLQOniWfiTQW SHOW
Our society participated in
the Bloomington Mineral Club
Show, Sept. 20th and 21st.
A very interesting fossil
collection owned by Louis
Eggerichs and a carousel of
slides projected on a screen
for continous viewing were
used in the display. Tbe
slided included geological
scenes and shots of membership
activities. Mifce Vaclavek,
Dr. Lowe and Martha Peterson
were in charge of the display.
Paul Vogt and Fred Hallberg
furnished the slided. Goldie
